Dear list Once again I impose on Lisa to forward the following message (n.b. interested parties please note: Richard Hutt is no longer on this list and will not receive messages sent to it) A gentle reminder � those in North America with cable television may wish to turn on their sets at 5pm or 11pm tonight to catch a television show on the film fashions of the 1960�s, and the impact of youthful Euro styles and designers on film and costume design. It airs on the American Movie Classics Channel. As previously mentioned, while I can claim credit for a lot in the show, I can also claim to have nothing to do with some of it�s lamer aspects. Highlights include Mary Quant, Theadora Van Runkle, Michael York, and some incredible footage. Lowlights include lots of Austin Powers references. In defence of this failing, I can assert that a tie-in to this film and it�s success was pretty much the only way to get a doc on 60�s film fashions made at all. I can however offer no explanation for the awful pictures used to represent the 80�s/60�s revival or the prolonged and dreadful mis-use of the word "mod". I did my best on both counts but I�m only the "Associate" Producer and "Additional Writing By" guy I did however manage to squeeze in some bits ans bobs you won�t be used to seeing on tv, including excerpts of Smashing Time, Modesty Blaise, The Flint films etc. If you have sharp eyes you can see me being a silly arse in the Austin Powers cranberry velvet suit (which I can report was rather well made - however he has a lot more tummy than me.) Anyway, love it, hate it, whatever - just turn your tv on. Thankyou. ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com ______________________________________________ Faster, stronger and able to send millions of emails in one click: the new Topica site! http://www.topica.com/t/14
